    How a Battery Tender dramatically improves your odds

    I have bump started my 03 a few times and it starts very easily with a dead battery. Down hill and 2nd gear.

    Dumbsh*t award

    Sometimes I wonder with stories such as this and wonder why I am still alive. Had an old Willys overhead four that was notorious for not starting. Eventually put a tube directly to the carbs so I could just shoot it up with starting fluid. Lucky this never happened to me but probably should...

    Don't forget to check yer stems

    Had the same experience with the stem, not the dealer. Had a set of storms put on and parked in the garage for the night. Got up early next morning for a ride and found the rear tire way low with my walk around kick the tire ritual. Looked for something wrong, got out the soapy water bottle and...

    PC 111

    They can lose their map. I had mine disconnected while I had the tick fixed. Lost the map and had to start all over and install the base map first. Then I could go and install a custom on the dyno.

    Clock and mileage resets while starting

    A new battery won't cure this happening. My 03 will do this occasionally. I thought the same with a 4 year old battery so I replaced it . I have had it happen since. After its hot, stopping or restarting quickly it will replicate these symptoms. Seems there is no rhyme or reason, old battery...

    email from Ireland

    Leave it to the Irish to a proper perspective on things. an e-mail from Ireland 'We, in Ireland, can't figure out why you people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States. On one side, you had a pants wearing female lawyer, married to another lawyer who can't seem to keep...

    Givi Light Bar Replacement

    I have a kit installed in my E460. I love the fact of not just brakes lights but turn signals and running lights. I bought another controller for the Wee Strom and transfer the case between both bikes. Benn using it for over two years now with no problems and great visibility especially at...

    TWN Remembrance Video

    I thought I had cried all my tears for Tim but after watching this video I was wrong. When I view or hear memories of Tim I will probably shed a tear and remember his famous pose. Thanks for putting this together for us to share.

    Anyone a golfer?

    Before I get too old to do so I am going to get a trailer for the FJR or maybe a Wing by that time to carry my clubs around the country and play golf. Maybe not at the big expensive courses but try to find some out of the way unique courses. Of course this is to be determined by my health and money.

    We Lost A Great Friend

    I just checked the board and found this horrible news. Saw tim at the WFO's and NAFO. Shared some riding stories, life stories and talked business. Sitting here in tears it makes one think about the impression others make in our lives. Really liked Tim and will miss his wit an humor. Prayers to...

    Riding to work today the engine stalled crossing an intersection. I was sitting at a 4 way stop, 5 deep on an incline. Stop and go, alternating turns at stop signs. Finally get to go through and it felt like I was starting off in 3rd gear but wasn't and it stalled. Coast across the intersection...

    Saw pictures awhile back of a deer through the windshield in the winter. Frozen blood and guts everywhere.

    Muzzy 4 into 2 into 1 Exhaust with Power commander

    All Gen 1 should disconnect the O2 sensor with the PCIII. Plus block the AIS or remove completely which is more difficult and unnecessary. I have a Holeshot full system with the PCIII and a custom map done by Dale Walker and his mechanic on a dyno. All I can say is unbelievable.
